3-4 cloves of garlic

1 white potato
(any other vegetable you llike often I mince spinach in mine as well although I didn't this time around it is very tasty and a great way to get those who balk at the thought of eating swiss chard ,spinach or kale)
Boil hambone and beans for about 1 hour, remove hambone and clean rest of meat off of it and chop it up and return to pot, add more chopped ham if you have more.
add bayleaves, tomato paste,vegetable spread and chopped garlic cloves and spices boil for another hour before adding the vegetables.
Once you have added vegetables cook until tender and serve soup with homemade biscuits.
Flaky Biscuits
2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening
2/3 cup milk
Sift flour, baking powder and salt. Add shortening and work into the flour until it feels like coarse cornmeal. (If you like real flaky biscuits, increase the amount of shortening.)
Add milk and mix just enough to keep the dough together. Place dough on a floured bread board and knead for a few moments. Use a rolling pin to roll dough out to a half-inch thickness. Roll lightly. Cut with a biscuit cutter. Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 450 degrees F.
Makes 12.(Thanks to recipe goldmine for the biscuit recipe, the soup is my own creation)

Such a nice meal on such a blustery evening.
I hope you enjoy this soup as much as we did!
